Three-dimensional display system, optical element, installation method, control method, and moving body
A three-dimensional display system includes a display panel, an optical element and a controller. The display panel includes an active area configured to display a parallax image. The optical element defines a light beam direction of the parallax image. The controller is configured to vary the parallax image based on positions of first and second eyes of the user. The optical element includes a plurality of optical means which are arranged in a parallax direction. The plurality of optical means extend along an inclination direction inclined to a reference direction with respect to a direction perpendicular to the parallax direction. The reference direction is defined, at least in a standard state, based on at least one of a position of the user in the parallax direction in an interior of the moving body and a position relative to the user of a predetermined facility mounted within the moving body.

METHOD OF DETERMINING AN ATTITUDE OF AN EYEWEAR
An aspect of the disclosure relates to a method of determining an attitude of an eyewear. The method may include: detecting a light signal reflected from the eyewear with a digital device including a light sensor for a non-visible wavelength range; and calculating, using the light signal, an attitude of the eyewear. The attitude may be at least one of: a yaw angle, a pitch angle, a roll angle. A second aspect of the disclosure relates to an eyewear including at least a first lens. The first lens may include a first coating having reflection in the non-visible range of wavelengths. The first coating may further include a pattern with an orientation. A third aspect of the disclosure relates to a computer program product including instructions, which, when the program is executed by a digital device, causes the digital device to carry out the method.
Device case including a projector
One disclosed example provides a method for displaying a hologram via a head-mounted display (HMD) device. The method comprises, via a camera system on the HMD device, acquiring image data capturing a surrounding environment by detecting illumination light output by a projector located on a case for the HMD device. A distance is determined from the HMD device to an object in the surrounding environment based upon the image data. The method further comprises displaying via the HMD device a hologram, the hologram comprising a left-eye image and a right-eye image each having a perspective based upon the distance determined.
Image display apparatus and method for displaying image
It is made possible to correct a positional gap between an optical system and an eye of an observer appropriately. Based on an eyeball position of the eye of the observer, a positional relationship between the optical system, which leads an image displayed on a display element to the eye of the observer, and the eye of the observer, that is, a positional gap therebetween is detected. Based on the positional relationship detected in such a manner, the positional relationship between the optical system and the eye of the observer is corrected. For example, the positional gap is electronically corrected by performing shift control of a position of the image displayed on the display element. Also, for example, the positional gap is mechanically corrected by performing shift control of the optical system including the display element.
METHOD FOR MITIGATING 3D CROSSTALK AND 3D DISPLAY
The disclosure provides a method for mitigating 3D crosstalk and a 3D display. The method includes: detecting first and second eye positions of a user, and determining a viewing angle of the user and a rotation angle of a head of the user accordingly; estimating a first reference position and a first midpoint position between first and second eyes of the user based on the first and second eye positions of the user; obtaining a second reference position, and estimating a difference between the first and second reference positions; correcting the first midpoint position to a second midpoint position based on the rotation angle of the user and the difference; and determining a first pixel for projecting to the first eye and a second pixel for projecting to the second eye among the pixels of the 3D display based on the second midpoint position.
